tweet by nigel farage, 1658, 27.09.2026:
"i have been warning both in and out of parliament for many months about iranian agents coming into the uk vis small boats across the channel.

"we deserve to be told the truth about the fairford bomb plotters' identities"snip from the Guardian just now:

"Five men arrested over suspected bomb plot are all British nationals, police say
The five men arrested over the suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford are all British nationals from London and are all men in their 20s, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) has said.

In a statement, the CTP said they were detained on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. They are a 24-year-old from Camden, north London; three men aged 23, 24 and 25 from Westminster, and one aged 24 from Willesden, north-west London."

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

We had a very shy HT who once read out the day's notices & walked of stage left. Unfortunately the exit was barred by the school play props. So instead of walking across the stage in full view of the pupils.He hid behind the curtain, shoes poking out, until assembly was finished.& the students left

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.
